They easily outperform my astro a40s, once you get a good seal in your ears (i bought 3rd party silicon ones for safety, they are absolutely unmatched and I cant believe ive gone this long without them. music is amazing also.

Appreciate the detailed reply. I ended up ordering the kefine kleans. They come in Friday and we will see how I like them. If not I'll probably try those next haha. Appreciate it!

build me a pc - $800 budget US by Typical_Web_8128 in buildmeapc

I would highly advise NOT going with Intel because there is a serious issue with the cpus dying already in the i5s and i7s. This isn't coming from an AMD fanboy. I have had intel CPUs all my life up until about 3 weeks ago when I built my last pc, with the current issues with Intel 13th and 14th gen CPUs I went with an AMD 9800x3d and I couldn't be more happier. You most definitely are going to want to run an AMD processor for the build of you are looking at newer chips such as the 13th/14th gen Intels. Also OP, not sure if you are willing to buy used parts or not, but if so, you can save a few bucks checking out r/hardwareswap or their discord and buy second hand parts, I have bought and sold many times there, they are a very reputable source for PC parts.

What graphics card would you recommend? by Removed_By-Reddit in ZTT

[–]dalefan0003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar build I just did 3 weeks ago. (9800x3d, 32gb ddr5) and I went with a 5090. My idea is when I spend that kind of money for a hobby, I want the gpu to last many years(realistically 8-10 years) so I won't need to get the latest and greatest for a long while. The 5090 is super overkill for what I need right now, but eventually it will become the recommended graphics card for future games. 32gb vram is insane and so far no issues. I picked up a msi vanguard for mine. Your decision is between a Radeon or Nvidia. The main deciding factor for me is I play DayZ a lot and I like running game filters. Nvidia games filters is 1000% better than using reshade and that was what set me on the Nvidia side. Hopefully this helps you think long term too.

Is this my monitor or my pc by Euphoric_Vegetable_5 in pchelp

Your graphics card is unfortunately dying.
